“Brandon Flowers and his Sin City cohorts hold up the promise of a truth that can transcend the troubles of temporal life.” – LA Times

On Sept 24, The Killers return to Portland, to rock Memorial Coliseum. With the help of their latest full length album, Day & Age, The Killers have lifted spirits and rocketed to new acclaim, selling over a million copies world wide in the first week of the release. On their third full length album, the Las Vegas - based Killers have taken their sound into dynamic new territories with tremendous results.

From the swirling synths and guitar trills of first single “Human,” to the epic, sing-along chorus of new single “Spaceman,” to the sparkling harps and strings on “I Can’t Stay” and more, Day & Age is The Killers at their shimmery transcendent best.

Some praise for Day & Age…

“All killer, no filler…a fresh and immediate arena-rock triumph…The sound isn’t just bigger, it’s transnational, yielding the kind of radiant, whip-smart rock album you seldom hear in this day and age.” – USA Today

“…rollicking charm…epic exuberance…a record that retains all of the anthemic aspirations of their last album but also shows some surprising new influences…” – Vogue
